What is the purpose of this episode and who is the guest?
when we say I am, let's say, Angry. That makes it really hard to not be angry because the the word am implies present and future. And past. Whereas when you say I feel angry. It's helping already dis entangle from the feeling. Oh, that's a feeling. It doesn't affect the fact that I am fine. I am okay. There's this feeling going through me. But it helps ground it.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber. We've been talking a lot on the podcast about the current pandemic and all the ways it might be affecting our kids and how to support and help them through it. But today, my fellow parents in the trenches, it's time to talk about us. I've heard from many of you in the last few months and I can certainly speak for myself as well that we need support and help too. So today I've invited parent coach Cheryl Stoller to the podcast to talk about the idea of getting grounded and reintegrated with ourselves. And as an uncertain and unfamiliar school year looms ahead for most of us and our kids, this seems even more critical to discuss.
I invited Cheryl to come onto the show because I love her compassionate approach to mind and body awareness, something she's no doubt gleaned as the mother of three differently wired children herself. In our conversation today, we talk about the surprising ways that the stress of our current situation might manifest, the ABCs of integration, and what that means, specific ways to reconnect with yourself and much more. I gained so much from this conversation. I hope that you do too.

So glad to be here, Debbie. This is perfect timing for this Conversation, we well, we planned it that way, right? Truth be told. We we had a feeling this was gonna be the right time for this. And I'm really looking forward to everything I know that you're you're going to share. Our conversations in the past have been so insightful and you have a lot of Yeah, just a lot of really good things for us to be thinking about as we enter this back to school time in the pandemic. So before we get into that, I've already read your formal bio, but I would love if you could take a few minutes to just tell us a little bit more about yourself, what you want us to know about who you are in the world and the work that you do.
So I'm a parent coach to parents of kids who are More and it turns out kids who are more um are often twice exceptional. And I found out about a decade ago that that's who I was coaching. And therefore I refocus my practice knowing that. And it's really especially intense for us. I have three children and they're grown and they are all two e Each with their own different Array of twice exceptionalities. And it was a really hard road and we went to some really hard places and crawled our way out. And so I bring my personal perspective. It's a very personal process for me that I wanna be for parents. What I needed back then and didn't have. So Being the person who has both professional academic and personal expertise
To be there with the parents to help them find how to get from where they are to where they want to be within themselves, with their child, for their child, with their co-parent. Um It's a very Life enhancing process that I am so delighted to be able to do and bring to other parents who are living what I lived.
When I think It's always so helpful for those of us who are kind of in the thick of it with with younger kids. And, you know, I've got now a sixteen year old, which still blows my mind a little bit.
